New Yorkers Woken Up By False Tsunami Warning

Though we feel badly for the many New Yorkers that were woken roughly this morning receiving an erroneous message stating that a tsunami was on the way, we must at the same time start to wonder: with all these fake messages, is this becoming like ‘the boy who cried wolf’?

Yes, dear readers, after Hawaii’s panic which lasted a full 38 minutes and Japan’s telecom operator sending out erroneous messages (Tokyo rectified the error some 4 minutes later, you know the efficient Japanese), this morning it was the turn to New Yorkers who got a message from the National Weather service warning them a tsunami was on the way.
